100th Post---an update on my life from the last month

This is my 100th blog! I wanted it to be extra special & about something awesomely awesome...perhaps I'll post pics of Third Day?

Anyway, so since I've been back from Dallas:

Had a Spring Break from the Christian School---spent it being bombarded with Physics and World Lit makeup homework and the flu-yuck (don't eat Mexican food & get the flu...just a warning).

Went to the dr to check up on my migraines--I was still having them...so she just refilled my Rx.

Steve (our worship pastor) said maybe I was dehydrated & that was causing my migraines...so I've been drinking water like it's goin' outta style & guess what??? No migraines...and only 2 headaches in the last 3 weeks. :) Thanks Steve-Oh!

The next week was Spring Break at Del Mar---but I still had a lot of Physics & World Lit to do, so I spent the week holed up in the McNeils house (where I was house sitting) buried in books. I spent the week praying about the guy I had been dating (for a month or so)--I felt God telling me not to continue with the relationship & as I was trying to figure out how to talk with him about it, he started dating someone else. So I guess God solved that one for me. I also had to make up my Philosophy midterm (got a 43-boo) and Cross Cultural Ministry midterm (84).

Last week was spent with Oso Fun practices, finishing up my World Lit paper, and more studying...I'm trying to really buckle down--only 5 weeks until Finals!!!

Yesterday, we had Oso Fun, which was Oh-So- much fun. :)

When i got home, I laid down on my mom's bed (it was about 1220 when i got home), and didn't wake up until 330 when Bill came in...so I went and laid back down on the couch and slept until 5! I didn't realize I was that tired, but I just couldn't get up.

Then, we (mom and I, Brigetta, Susie, and Will) went to the THIRD DAY Concert at Concrete Street! It was AWESOME!!!

These are my 5 favorite pics (just because I'm tired and don't want to upload more):

Brigetta, Will, and I. :)

An awesome screen---can't remember the name of the song, but I thought the screen looked sweet.


Revelation---the name of the Song and of the Tour.

This picture is from when they came and played in the crowd...It was literally less than 5 feet from us!!! It was SO stinkin' awesome. :) (Although this picture kinda makes it look like he was further away than he really was...he was SO close). :)

This was the opening background:

AUS-10

Headed to Austin tomorrow afternoon! I am uber excited about it, since I haven't seen my family since...since Thanksgiving? I'm gonna drive up tomorrow after I get outta lab (and my cousin, Tori, is joining me-yay!) and come back (by myself-boo) on Saturday.
Audie loaned me her Garmin, so i'm excited about not losing my way.

Well, I must go pack & pass out. :)

BTW, I did not eat bagels & cream cheese today. and I did not have a migraine. Woo!

MI to the GRAINES

I have been having HORRIBLE migraines over the past two weeks or so...7 in 9 days actually.

I went to the doctor yesterday & told her that & she said I needed to let my profs know I wouldn't be in class that afternoon & I needed to see a neurologist, stat (well, she didn't say stat, but she did say that day). After a brief freak out moment on my part, I told her that my cousin's dad gets migraines from yogurt (it's a food allergy that triggers migraines), and that I had thought about the different foods I have eaten and I realized I had eaten a bagel and cream cheese for 10 mornings. I ate them Monday - Thursday of last week, Friday I burnt it, got ticked and threw it away, Saturday I was out (but bought more at HEB Sat night), and then I ate them Sunday-Tuesday mornings as well. Well, since last Monday, I've had a migraine every day except Friday and Saturday (the days I didn't eat a bagel and cream cheese).

We came to the conclusion that I must have developed an allergy to either the bagels or the cream cheese and I am on strict orders to not eat either one for a minimum of a month. After a month, she'll check me again & then i'll be allowed to eat bagels for two weeks (no cream cheese) and see if I have one. If not, then we'll try me eating cream cheese for two weeks (no bagels).

I got some new Imitrex pills and she told me if I have another really bad one (like the throwing up, can't stand it one I had Thursday), I'm supposed to immediately go in to see her. Because, I guess people who have brain aneurisms start out by having a lot of migraines...

Prayers, please!!!
